ESPN critiques Jets' choice of Geno Smith over rookie Cade Klubnik

The New York Jets face scrutiny over their decision to start veteran quarterback Geno Smith rather than rookie Cade Klubnik as training camp approaches. Following trades that brought Smith back to New York, ESPN argues that not starting Klubnik could waste an opportunity to assess his potential. This comes amid off-field concerns related to Smith, who is under investigation for an alleged altercation. The Jets selected Klubnik in the fourth round of the draft; however, his path to becoming a starter looks challenging. ESPN suggests that the Jets could benefit from exploring Klubnik's ability, as Smith has improved since his previous tenure with the team, but may not lead to long-term success.
